For activating windows7 professional using Windows Loader version 2.1.7 by Daz available in internet, when I am scanning the Windows Loader.exe using Avast version- 7.0.1466, it is detecting the executable as Win32-PUP-gen[PUP].

I have three queries regarding this:-

a) Is this report possibly a false-positive?b) And if I use this software [Windows Loader version 2.1.7 by Daz] then will it infect my computer or any future poblems?c) And if I forcefully use/install this software [Windows Loader version 2.1.7 by Daz] is it possible to detect/overcome issues caused by virus/Trojan?

To be honest i would never touch these programs. Using this program can be illegal as it allows you to activate windows, meaning you will be using pirated sofware once you use this program. It basicly is a hacking tool.

Thank you sir, for your prompt reply, but is there is any future threats, if I use this software [Windows Loader version 2.1.7 by Daz] like hijacking windows or stealing windows information e.g. credential.

I use Windows_Loader_v2.2.1So far in full scan and boot scan, scan it several times and it didnt show this file like threat so far.But in last Full scan it show same file like threat " pub loader.exe... something like that. Cant say exactly the result name etc but if you tell me that is possible to see scan result in free version i will reply with full name of scan result.

hi Predrag,

As you are replying to a thread started almost a year ago, and one that deals with use of an illegal program at that, don't think any help you require is forthcoming anytime soon. Avast!, when a system scan is initiated, will alert not only to various malware, but also to PUP's (Potentially Unwanted Programs) if that option is selected. Pup loader.exe would be one such.

It's possible you did not know use of Windows_Loader_v2.2.1 is not legal, and all Avast! is doing is letting you know this is possibly a program you do not want on your system. Use of a PUP can be for good or bad, but once installed, the potential of destructive behavior and damage to the system always exists.
